Tony Adamo & The New York Crew – Tony Adamo & The New York Crew (Self-produced): Self-defined jazz hipster / poet / rapper Tony Adamo has learned from the earlier masters (though not from Slim Gaillard, et.al.) and now creates a jazz poet jive talker that honors more recent jazz sensibilities and styles while bouncing off of the platform built by Kerouac and company with a deep connection to the music and its more recent heroes and styles. It does take some adjustment for those who have grooved on the earlier styles, but he IS on to something. Supporting musicians include Lenny White and Mike Clark on drums, Tim Quinnette on trumpet, Donald Harrison on alto, Richie Goods on bass, Michael Wolff on piano and Bill Summers on percussion. There is also a guest spot by Jean C Santalis on guitar.

“TONY ADAMO & the New York Crew: Delightfully angular contemporary urban stuff that's played just right and making you think this is a soundtrack to an unmade Spike Lee pic that should be made. Crazy hip stuff for a new generation of hipsters that don't want to go around looking like steam punks. And the host of well established jazzbos on board here are just going to blow your mind.” -- MIDWEST RECORD
